Why do I listen to coworkers’ book recs before looking up a book? I have a Criminology degree that’s collecting dust, and despite my distaste for many women’s obsession with true crime (in the sense it has made close friends and family anxious and paranoid about living in a ground floor apartment, in addition to it glamorizing or romanticizing the worst aspects of humanity) I found the concept intriguing. Ah yes, here is a novel that supposedly focuses on the real human effect of heinous crimes, rather than obsessing over the monster that committed them.
